Thank you guys for all your warm comments after last night’s post. It was definitely a stream of consciousness post and I have no idea what inspired me. I’ll definitely address some of your questions in upcoming posts. As always, leave any other questions in comments or feel free to email me!
This morning didn’t start very well. I’ve been popping Vitamin C like it’s my job. Three quarters of my team at work are sick and I woke up feeling stiff and could barely swallow. An extra hour of sleep, warm water salt gargle, sunshine, fun shoes, and green juice left me feeling much better.
Look at that sunshine!!
I wasn’t craving my normal breakfast though. I treated myself to a delicious egg white omelet from Toasties.
This delicious omelet included lots of veggies and was topped with fresh salsa! I enjoyed it with a side of grapefruit for an extra kick of Vitamin C!
My afternoon was a bit more stressful than I’d like but as always, Sara and Theodora were there for me! What would I do without awesome girl friends? I can’t really share details at this point but hopefully I’ll have some good news to share with you all soon!
I took out some of my stress during an evening gym session. I had a meeting with the Equinox special events manager before my workout and spent a few minutes brainstorming blog events!
Unfortunately, my workout didn’t go quite as well. I stepped on the treadmill, focused on doing four miles at a harder than normal pace. One mile into my workout I was bored, in a funk, and ready to leave. I knew some sweat would make me feel better so I decided to make today’s workout a mash up of workouts.
- 2 miles at 6.3 pace on the treadmill
- 20 minutes of weights focusing on arms, abs, and shoulders
- 10 minutes on the stair climber
- 5 minutes abs and planks
- 1 miles at 6.7 pace
It wasn’t the four miles I’d intended to complete but at least it was a sweat fest that left me feeling a bit better. I enjoyed what’s quickly becoming my favorite late night dinner: cereal!
- skim milk
- banana
- Fiber One
- Kashi Puffs
The rest of my evening was spent trying to master the art of self tanning. Luckily, my friend Grace dedicated an entire blog post to this endeavor today. 
Hopefully I’ll look tanner tomorrow and won’t regret this decision. My products of choice were the ones Grace recommended:
- L’Oreal Dermo-Expertise Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium-Natural , 5 fl oz (150 ml)
Kate Somerville Self Tanner Somer 360 Somer360 Tanning Towelettes
Today’s health and fitness tip of the day has to do with vitamins! The key components you must look for in a daily vitamin are the vitamins B6, B12, D, E and folic acid. Check yours today!
Question: Do you self tan?
OOh love self tanner! I always mix mine with regular lotion..never streaks! And solid workout! It’s always good to be flexible!
First, I love those Tory Burch flats. They are so cute. I used a self-tanning lotion once, but it didn’t turn out too well. I’m really pale and self-tanners always makes me look orange. I’m learning to embrace my white skin … I hope it works out better for you!
These are the wedges which are so much fun. 🙂 The tanning towelettes were awesome!!
Congrats on sticking with a workout even when you aren’t feeling it! I had a similar situation after a long day today but went to spinning anyway and am glad I did.
I will be at the 2pm session Friday – look forward to seeing you! 🙂
Love the shoes!! And hope you wake up tomorrow feeling wonderful!
I love your shoes! Do tell who you are wearing? 🙂 Also, let us know how the tanning ends up. I desperately need a glow. This winter has been brutal.
They are Tory Burch! I linked to them. The tanning worked wonderfully! I highly suggest the towlettes!
46 bucks for tanning towlettes? ZOIKS.
Yes but honestly I’ve received so many positive comments today! People say it looks awesome and its for multiple tans.
That workout looks awesome! We should do a class together soon!
Yes we definitely should! Please let me know when you’re free! 🙂
